The BBC is reporting that Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to the United States has resigned after serving the post for over two decades. Prince Bandar bin Sultan was well known in Washington and had close ties to the White House. Because of his ties with the Bush family he earned the nickname Bandar Bush. President Bush met with him two days after the Sept. 11 attacks even though 15 of the 19 hijackers had come from Saudi Arabia. Bandar is expected to now seek a high ranking position back home — possibly as head of Saudi intelligence.
